Your avatars and you...

Not sure what I'll choose, but probably something I'll upload since I just joined a new picture hosting site.

I love the avatars everyone has chosen and also the real pics. It's nice to put a face on a few of those I've been reading for all these years.

My original image was Merlin from the movie Excalibur... although I very much love Merlin the person to the character, it's not quite me... yet...

The second image (at present)... is Stilgar, a character from the books, movie, and mini series Dune... he was leader of the one of the Fremen tribes, a capable desert warrior, and was a Fedaykin... Muad'Dibs personal gaurd/fighters in freeing Arrakis from the evil House Harkonnen. Hence the red hand and smeared shoulders of the Fedaykin...

My original signature was the Bene Gesserit Litany against Fear... but then I found this one... it suits me more at the present Time...

I'm on a huge Dune kick at present... don't know why, but I like it!...

Yes my avatar is a real picture of me taken at a Powwow in Central Florida.

I was going to send you a message complimenting you on your avatar! I'm a huge Dune fan, in fact, I might just go put on my special edition in a bit. Feeling in Dune mood too I never ever liked any of the attempted remakes that they tried to do for Sci Fi. Never had the touch that David Lynch did, and being a big David Lynch fan too, nothing compares to the original, with Kyle MacLaughlin and Sting.

As a quote from Paul Atreides/Muad'Dib"

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

As for my avatar, my first one was the Goddess Gaia, one with the Earth. I am born on Earth Day, so I've always felt a very close connection to our planet and to nature. My current avatar is a buttermilk buckskin Arabian mare, my dream horse. I hope to be fortunate enough one day to own one. My mom would say I have a deathwish when it comes to horses as I nearly lost my life in a jumping accident in 2001. I can't stay away from them, but I no longer jump. At least not yet
